SET­TLED

She is half of “one of the hap­pi­est cou­ples in show­biz”. In sum­mer 2016, the Beck­hams cel­e­brated 17 years of mar­riage. The cou­ple mar­ried in July 1999 – com­plete with golden thrones to sit on – and they have been sit­ting pretty ever since. De­spite cheat scan­dals, tabloid break-up rumours, and re­port­edly spend­ing most of last sum­mer apart (which prompted “head­ing for di­vorce” head­lines), DVB have stayed strong. In a se­ries of cute In­sta­gram posts, David has de­clared his love for his wife. On their wed­ding an­niver­sary, he wrote: “I was lucky to meet some­one who has the same drive and wanted the same things in life” and on her birth­day, he said: “Happy birth­day to this beau­ti­ful pas­sion­ate woman. In 42 years you have been able to achieve so much and it feels you are only just start­ing. Happy birth­day we love you”. The fam­ily-of-six are now set­tling into their ren­o­vated £30mil­lion sev­enbed­room man­sion in London’s af­flu­ent Holland Park.
